Roller Disco in the Mission Benefits SF Indiefest

Furry skate boots and fully-sequined outfits were on display Friday night at the Women’s Building for the annual Roller Disco party, a benefit for SF Indiefest, a film festival which screens at the Roxie Theater on 16th and Mission streets. SF Indiefest is currently in the middle of its run, with its last day on Feb. 21.

About 100 skaters rolled around the wooden floors of the Women’s Building at 18th and Valencia streets, which moonlighted as the event’s roller rink for fun and fundraising.

“You don’t get this vibe doing anything else. It’s very special,” said event co-organizer David Miles. A skater for nearly 30 years, Miles said he has made 15 trips to Los Angeles on his eight wheels. As to the choice of The Women’s Building as this year’s venue, he replied that there are “very few places where you can have this type of thing.” TO READ MORE CLICK HERE
